9 – Gage

I took the weapon apart, cleaned it and put it back together three times. That was overkill, I knew. But being in the same house with Rayne, with her sleeping in the room next to mine was wreaking havoc on my nerves.

I should just throw her out and forget she ever existed, but I would not go back on my promise to strip my brother of everything her owned, especially the things he took from me. Whether I would keep them when I was done remained to be seen.

Picking up the gun again, I aimed at the wall separating us, briefly closing my eyes as I envisioned her naked body curled up in bed. With the heat in the high nineties, she would be wearing a lace underwear and nothing else.

My finger itched to squeeze the trigger as the contempt I felt for her boiled over. How could she have done this? The love we shared, was it all a lie? But the contents of that letter came back to me and the realization that she allowed Leroy to manipulate her. Even if she thought I’d written that letter, it was no reason to just marry Leroy, and so soon afterwards.

“Damn it!”

Lowering the weapon, I set it on the nightstand and walked to the window overlooking the back lawns. That was a mistake. Memories were a hell of a thing. No matter how I tried to wipe my mind of them, they refused to leave me alone. Our walks, kisses in the rain picnics and us ravaging each other in the freshly cut grass assailed my mind.

Stomping away from the window I came back to the bed. My eyes settled on the closet door which was slightly ajar. My initial intention was to close it, but I found myself tearing it open to view it contents.

Rage overwhelmed me at seeing not only Leroy’s clothes hanging there but Rayne’s as well. I began pulling them out and dumping them on the floor. I’d finished tossing them out of the compartment which used to house mine and Rayne’s clothes when I saw the small wooden music box I’d gifted her.

I picked it up and was about to toss it against the wall when the lid opened and something fell out. picked up a folded piece of paper. Setting down the box on the bed, I turned over the document. I wondered if perhaps it was another letter that Leroy forged with my handwriting. When I unfolded the document, my eyes narrowed as I perused the contents.

My entire body went cold as the blood drain from my head. Weakness overcame me as I read and reread the contents again. Like a hot potato, I dropped the document and walked to the window. After a few seconds I came back, picked up the paper and read its contents once more. I found myself pacing the room, trying to decipher what I just read.

Again, I read it more slowly, unable to comprehend it. For a moment, I stared at the piece of paper in my hand.
